Uninstall Fails on Vista

[akrumsee]

I recently upgraded my workstation to Vista. I just downloaded the current version of MySQLDirect.Net Pro. To install it on my workstation I first tried to uninstall the version already installed. The uninstall fails with a window stating that the uninstall "cannot interact with Visual Studio 8.0 IDE. "

I'm not sure what to do next. The install log reads:

Try to remove MySQLDirect .NET manually:
Stop Windows Installer service;
Delete key in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products that corresponds to
MySQLDirect .NET;
Delete key in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Assemblies that corresponds to
CoreLab.MySql.dll;
Remove all CoreLab.* assemblies from GAC;
Stop IIS service if you install Web demos virtual directories;
Remove \Program Files\CoreLab\MySQLDirect.NET folder.
After that you can install MySQLDirect .NET again.
